Its pretty funny to read all of my old entries, because I have consistently been trying to lose the same 20-30 pounds for the past 4 or so years. “I KNOW I CAN DO THIS” yaaaa theres definitely a difference between can and WILL.
So I go to college soon, like 10 months or so. Itd be awesome if I could be in really good shape, at my goal weight 127(yes I know its just a number, but its a number that means a lot to me psychologically). Then, if I gained 5 pounds due to college escapades, that would probably be okay with me as long as I never got back within 15 pounds of where I am now at 152ish.
See, I carry my weight really well. It must be my bones to an extent because I really am not fat at all. I wear a size 27 jeans and can squeeze into some size 4 dresses (my boobs are usually the only issue). I’d like to look like jessica alba does in into the blue, through running and pilates (i know i am capable of it I just have to put in the effort).
Once I start running again regularly (and I have even found a workout buddy to run with me), I should be able to lose about 5-7 pounds a month depending on how well I eat. Since winter formal is at the end of january, itd be lovely if I could have lost almost 15 pounds by then. It is doable, I just have to keep myself busy so that I don’t snack too much, and work out regularly.
The last 10 pounds will be much, much harder, and depending on how I look/feel after I’ve lost 15, I’ll decide how much more I want to lose. I want to feel small and girly for once in my life. I’m okay with my height and occasionally size, but I really want to be smaller so that when I go to college to reinvent my life, I can even look like a different person. Wish me luck xoxo

I really want to get back down to my pre-baby weight. Everyone says I look great and don’t need to lose weight because I carry it so well… blah blah blah. I’m not happy with myself and want to get healthier and stay more active to keep up with my 1 1/2 yr old!!

mortonstoe my bologna has a first name. I just thought you should know.
Been eating well, but kind of fasting at school since I don’t bring snacks anymore. I eat right after, however.
So, I’m at 217-218, chillin out, perhaps another plateau. Might be changing shape. I think I will break 200 in order to get where I wish.
Nothing really exciting, but I thought I should share.

So things haven’t happened as quickly as I would have wished for. I have managed to lose approximately 6 lbs…still have a way to go…lol. But I did buy a treadmill about a month ago and try to use it daily…so hopefully this goal will be achieved in a few months :)

I really want to get serious with this again. Today I weighed myself again, am 15 pounds down from last year’s starting weight.
My plan is to make some real eating changes. I am quite concerned if I am prescribed any long-term cancer medications that they are going to make me gain weight again. I am very determined to not let this happen. In fact, I still want to lose 25 MORE pounds from where I am now…..but I will be happy with ten more, say by the end of the year? We will see what I can do.
I feel like I need something to focus on that is concrete and that I can control (at least somewhat).

Over the last few months, I’ve lost 22 pounds! I’m stalled right now so I’ve set this mini goal to get me moving again!!

After going through adventures in ED land I managed to put myself at the high end of my healthy weight after I had lost enough to be be on the very low end. So, I am going at it again with a clearer mind and more confidence! I actually onlt have about twenty to go.
I wish everyone luck on this!!

8.7 lbs to go til I hit my goal. Of course I might just find I should lose more than that original goal, but we’ll see! I am now officially within the range of a normal BMI.

As part of the radiation oncologist meeting, I was weighed, weight up 2 pounds from July. Not too bad, as the last month has been a real roller coaster.
So, have 12 pounds to go to lose the original 25.
They told me at the radiation clinic ” we don’t want you to waste away”. Say what? If I lose 12 more pounds, I will just barely have a BMI that is not “obese”. Hmmmm. Need to ask them if it’s okay to seriously try to lose weight while undergoing this treatment or if I should put it all on hold until January.

hey.
so today i did some shopping. things i had bought in the summer and beginning of the semester had been getting loose, and i needed warm stuff, so i bought more shirts and a hooded jacket :) also a long sleeve thing that feels like long johns, to run in.
I wear a medium now. A MEDIUM. from a large, from an xl, and distantly from a 2x. I cant remember putting on anything medium and it looking good on me. Elementary school.
I have a lot more to lose, but I am at 222 or so. My plateau really broke big and hard. 17 to go and maybe even more if it is there to lose. Almost certainly more.
